DRYS O. K. 7 FOR PRESIDENT.

Westerville, Ohio., May 3.—The Anti-Saloon League of America through Dr. P. A. Baker, its general superintendent, today placed its stamp of approval on sjeven presidential candidates. They are Hoover, Wood, Lowden, McAdoo, Hughey, Poindexter and Bryan. Mr. Baker’s statement says the “prohibitionists of the country can safely support any of these men if nominated.” The statement is taken by league men to mean that no other candidates mentioned as possibilities up to date have the league’s approval and that the dry organization will fight all others heretofore mentioned by it and not included in this list. They are Harding and Johnson, republicans, and Cox and Edwards, democrats. Announcement also was made that further candidates will be made. Today’s statement also reaffirms previous declarations that the anti-saloon league has no special candidate to offer to either the republican or democratic national conventions.
